Item Details
Description
**Originally Listed At $150**

Ancient Near East, northwestern Iran, Luristan culture, ca. 1000 to 600 BCE. An enormous bronze spear head cast via the lost-wax (cire perdue) process. The weapon has a broad leaf-shaped blade, a stocky diamond-shaped handle, a slender tang, and a shallow midrib which runs the length of the blade and handle. The large size of this spear head suggests this may have been used by a horse-riding warrior, enabling them to kill an opposing horse in one strike rather than with multiple strikes using a smaller weapon. Size: 1.75" W x 12.8" H (4.4 cm x 32.5 cm); 5" H (12.7 cm) on included custom stand.

Provenance: private southern California, USA collection, acquired before 2000
